Buddy and I each have Kifaru packs, custom made about 10 years ago. I can't vouch for that pack, but I can vouch for the packs in general. Superb quality, and super low weight. I know since we bought ours, other companies have created lighter packs but I'm not switching. It's carried numerous elk quarters, guns, gear, with only one problem. One of the hip belt frame attachments came unstitched. Took it to Kifaru, they fixed it for free and checked the entire pack over. The way we've used/abused the packs, I'm surprised that's the only thing that ripped - I was fully expecting to pay for the repair. They seriously have taken a beating and show very little wear. Comfortable as well.
